An African Creative technology Studio!

Nafuna Africa partnered with Econet Wireless and Cassava Smartech to elevate their brand narratives through animation, video production, and digital marketing. For Econet, we crafted explainer videos, corporate documentaries, and strategic campaigns that simplified technology and amplified brand identity. With Cassava, we visualized its ecosystem (Ecocash, Ecosure, Moovah, etc.), translating fintech and logistics services into accessible animations that drove user engagement and financial inclusion. This collaboration redefined corporate storytelling in Zimbabwe’s telecom and tech sectors.

Nafuna Africa leverages animation to advance public health education, partnering with organizations like ZAPIM and integrating critical messaging into our Angry Mwana series. During COVID-19, we produced multilingual animations on prevention and vaccination, while our malaria-focused videos for ZAPIM earned Ministry of Health endorsement. By weaving nutrition, hygiene, and mental health into children’s entertainment, Angry Mwana became a tool for generational health literacy, proving animation’s power to simplify complex medical topics into actionable community knowledge.

Nafuna Africa collaborated with Hivos to produce the "Women in Leadership" explainer video, addressing systemic barriers faced by women in leadership roles. Through strategic scriptwriting, relatable 2D animation, and nuanced storytelling, the video highlighted challenges like gender bias and glass ceilings while showcasing real-world examples of resilience. Designed as an educational and advocacy tool, it sparked critical conversations in workshops, conferences, and classrooms, reinforcing animation’s role in advancing gender equality and equitable leadership.

Nafuna Africa partnered with UN Women Zimbabwe to create a 1-minute 2D animated video for the global HeForShe campaign, blending urgent gender equality advocacy with accessible storytelling. Under a tight three-week timeline, we integrated characters from our Angry Mwana series to amplify relatability while maintaining the message’s gravity. The video sparked nationwide conversations, becoming a key tool for UN Women’s workshops and social media campaigns, showcasing animation’s power to drive social change.

"Tonight with Zororo" redefined Zimbabwean talk shows through its bold blend of candid dialogue, innovative production, and Zororo Makamba’s charismatic hosting. Awarded Best TV Production at Zimbabwe’s 2015 National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA), the show tackled politics, culture, and personal narratives with groundbreaking camera work and set design. Broadcast on DSTV’s Zambezi TV and KweseTV, it became a regional phenomenon, inspiring creators to challenge norms. Zororo’s untimely passing in 2020 cemented the show’s legacy as a pioneering force in African television storytelling.

Nafuna Africa partnered with Deutsche Welle (DW) to empower African journalists through explainer video training and creative collaboration. We co-developed a specialized training program, facilitated hands-on workshops, and produced promotional animations for DW’s media education initiatives, while also receiving mentorship to refine our storytelling techniques. This collaboration supported both skill-sharing and cultural projects like Angry Mwana, Zimbabwe’s pioneering animated series.
